How Agents Work

When you submit a task, Browser-Swarm breaks it into steps and assigns each one to a named agent. Each agent opens its own browser tab and works on its part of the task independently.

Think of it like a team

Agents that don't depend on each other work at the same time. For example, if you're comparing prices on three different websites, three agents check all three sites simultaneously — just like having three assistants working for you at once.

Search Agent

Browses websites and finds information

Navigates to specified URLs, fills in search forms, and extracts relevant data from web pages.

Compare Agent

Analyzes findings side by side

Takes data from multiple search agents and creates structured comparisons — tables, rankings, or summaries.

Report Agent

Creates your final summary

Combines all findings into a single, easy-to-read result that directly answers your original question.

What agents can do

Navigate websites

Agents can visit any public website, click links, and browse through multiple pages.

Fill in forms

Search boxes, filters, date pickers — agents handle form inputs just like a person would.

Read and extract content

Agents read text, prices, ratings, specifications, and other data from web pages.

Handle pagination

If results span multiple pages, agents automatically navigate through all of them.

Adapt to changes

If a website layout changes or an element isn't where expected, agents figure out a different approach.

Parallel execution

The key advantage of Browser-Swarm is that agents work simultaneously. When your task involves checking multiple websites, each site gets its own agent. This is why a 5-site comparison takes roughly the same time as checking a single site.

The system automatically identifies which steps can run in parallel and which ones need to wait for data from other steps.
